1. The political and economic implications of the Indo-Iran Gas Pipeline
The recent Indo-lran Gas Pipeline (proposed) agreement has already been showing its political and economic implication.
The most important is India's move towards energy security which will be transformed into sustained economic growth. On the part of Iran, it will open its markets to a satisfying neighbourhood which will integrate its economy with India's one of the fastest growing world economy.
As it passes through Pakistan, it will gain with charging transit and maintenance costs worth billions of dollars-good for Pakistan's economy.
Politically, it is proving one more confidence building measures (CBM) between India and Pakistan to diffuse political tensions in the sub-continent.
Recent nuclear standoff of Iran with western powers has also proved Iran coming closer to India to use its contacts to diffuse the crisis while western powers have also approached India to use its good offices to bring Iran to the talking table. It is also a direct implication of growing contacts between Iran & India due to the gas pipeline project.

    Keystone Pipeline

    The existing shorter pipeline transporting oil has had twelve leaks in its one year. A longer pipeline raises serious concerns for environmentalists. In the state of Nebraska, the Ogallala Aquifer supplies water for agricultural purposes and to more than two million people. If a minor oil spill occurs in that area, ground water and the aquifers would be contaminated. While the building of the pipeline raises about 3500-4500 temporary jobs, this type of oil spill would kill hundreds of thousands of permanent jobs as well as increasing health risks and safety hazards of millions of American citizens. Additionally, the pipeline opens a free port for Canada, resulting in a net loss of United States’ trillions of dollar put in for oil infrastructure. Finally, Trans Canada has already stated that the oil extracted will be sold to foreign markets. The whole point of the operation, to reduce foreign dependency on oil, will be lost.…

    President Trump and Pakistan have exchanged argumentative and accusatory rhetoric over the security problems caused by terrorists and Taliban traveling back and forth from Pakistan and Afghanistan. Washington recently cut off 900 million of military aid to Pakistan until they show signs of fighting the Afghan Taliban and Haqqani militant groups in Pakistan (Landay, 2018). The Pakistani Defense committee claims to be a scapegoat for the U.S. failures in Afghanistan. Meanwhile, Washington recently requested India to step up their support by providing military assistance in Afghanistan and India agreed. Strategic critics will argue that increased Indian involvement in the form of hard military power in Afghanistan will exacerbate Pakistani fears of being strategically surrounded by India and potentially lead to Pakistan-India proxy wars in Afghanistan (Paliwal,…

    The Agreed Framework was an agreement to stop North Korea from developing nuclear weapons, and in return the United States would provide the necessary means to substitute those nuclear facilities with those that would produce clean energy to power the country. More importantly, the agreement signified America’s ideals of maintaining promises. The opposite proved to be true, as the United States failed to uphold its part of the agreement, and nine years later the agreement broke down, resulting in North Korea’s withdrawal from the agreement; this failure would provide North Korea with the motivation to pursue nuclear power once again. Unfortunately, nine years after the failed agreement, the United States has failed in keeping promises to Iran. It’s possible that Iranian rebellion is a response to the strict sanctions and failed promised made to it by the United States. The question still remains, how would a nuclear Iran affect the well-being of the world? Because the U.S. hasn’t been able to break to the Iranian government for reasons like not upholding its promises, no one knows the true reason why Iran is in pursuit of nuclear power. However, on thing is important- If America wishes to reach improved foreign relations with Iran, and then it must begin to work towards keeping its word and allowing…

    Abe is known to be staunchly pro-Indian. Not only did he describe strengthening bilateral ties as extremely important to Japan’s interests in his 2006 bookUtsukushii Kuni E (Towards a Beautiful Country), but one of his major foreign policy initiatives during his previous tenure as PM was establishing a new vision for bilateral ties with India. To that end, he advocated emphasizing India and Japan’s shared values and overlapping security interests. He has also argued that both countries have a responsibility to work together in the Indo-Pacific region, which he refers to as “broader Asia.” In the Liberal Democratic Party’s (LDP) recent campaign pledge, India was listed as a country with which Japan should enhance cooperation with on issues of national security and energy. With such support, it can be expected that Abe will look to India as a partner for greater Japanese activism in the region.…

    With India’s obsession towards Pakistan and with its preoccupations with China, the South East Asian region did not figure much in its foreign policy till the early 90s. South East Asia was a growing market with countries like Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia. China had already entrenched itself deeply in most of these countries over a period of time. Though some analysts pointed out that by launching this policy India was trying to balance China’s influence in this region, India had often reiterated that it was not competing with China in any manner. India had to go beyond the confines of SAARC if it had to reap the benefits out of the economic potential of the South East Asian region and establish itself as a regional power.…

    The ongoing delay for the ratification of civilian nuclear co-operation with the US, presents a murky picture of India. The ideological difference between the Left and the UPA government is becoming more and more strained, keeping in view, of their alliance. A year before India and the US reached a bilateral agreement (though efforts had been on for previous two years) on civilian nuclear co-operation, strictly limiting it to civilian, whereas India’s nuclear weapons and defense strategies would not come under this agreement. But the Hyde Act (Indo-US nuclear co-operation), which is still under controversy does not demarcate the line between “Civilian and Defense” clearly. It requires India to participate in NPT (Non-proliferation Treaty)-apart from allowing IEAE inspections and placing its civilian nuclear projects under UN safeguards (UN dominated by US)- which indirectly restricts India from conducting Nuclear Tests, and if and so India violates this, nuclear co-operation would be terminated. Furthermore there are other conditions as well. On the whole, if seen the whole civilian nuclear co-operation itself is a partial offer from the US and the acceptance of US congress, does not altogether seem very warming or friendly, for they have their own concerns and many of them object to this so-called Indo US nuclear co-operation. The 123 agreement which followed the Hyde Act, supposedly addresses India’s concerns and is said to be in favor of India, though not largely. The 123 agreement recognizes India to reprocess its spent fuels and regarding the nuclear tests and termination, it would not terminate the agreement without mutual talks and taking into account the situation under which nuclear tests are being done. And US would not interfere in India getting nuclear fuel supplies from other countries and also non-interference in India’s strategic programes and interests. How genuine would 123 agreement be, only coming years would tell, if India goes ahead with the…

    Contemporary India with a scientist President and an economist Prime Minister is very successfully treading the fast track of development Starting from an utterly ruined and exploited country under the rule of the haughty Britishers who sponged away the India wealth, the story of India's success in the last 60 years, is one of the proverbial rise from 'rags to riches'. India's development within a short span of time, to the level of a country which on its own conducted nuclear test, joining the elite club of nuclear powers, and now becoming a rightful contender for getting a permanent seat in UN Security Council, speaks volumes about India's success.…
